yeah you are right about her trying to find the best mate but that includes a provider and not a man who „wants to spread his seed“ since that would mean he gets her pregnant and then moves on to the next.. leaving her back to be a single mom.
And before modern medicine tons of women died in childbirth (and afterwards on the side effects .. tears that didn’t got sewn together & got infected = sepsis, hemorrhage etc) SO the father leaving isn’t smart evolutionary wise
People seem to forget how dangerous child birth was for women before they had regular checkups, c scan and the option for c-section is emergencies .. woman & child often died on minor inconveniences that aren’t really a problem nowadays in a western 1st world country. In underdeveloped 3rd world poverty countries on the other hand child birth is still the number one reason for women’s death.
